ALNICO2 .195″ Rod Magnet Set Stagger 2-A2

Description

The Silk Blend™ Stagger is a modern-leaning, carefully curated pole magnet set designed to deliver balanced output, softened highs, and a gentle midrange bloom.

Optimized for 9.5″–12″ fingerboard radii and modern string sets, this stagger features slightly lowered bass-side poles, tightening low-end response while maintaining clarity and dynamic control. The result is a smooth, even feel across the strings without sacrificing articulation.

The Silk Blend™ is ideal for players who need a pickup that responds equally well to rhythm work and expressive lead playing, offering a refined tonal balance that sits naturally in a mix.
